Built-in 3- to 6-axis nanopositioning platform with ACS movement management accelerates energetic alignment processes.
Physik Instrumente (PI), a worldwide chief in precision movement management and nanopositioning programs, introduces the F-572 Excessive-Efficiency 3- to 6-Axis Photonics Alignment System, designed for high-throughput energetic alignment purposes in photonics manufacturing and check.
The built-in system combines precision goniometers, linear nanopositioning levels, magnetic direct-drive know-how, high-resolution optical encoder suggestions, and a preconfigured ACS-based alignment controller. It supplies a compact, industrial-ready platform for demanding photonics purposes with payloads to 2 kg, together with superior packaging, LiDAR, and multichip-level testing.
A user-adjustable magnetic counterbalance on the Z-axis retains motor currents and warmth to a minimal.
The F-572 affords linear journey ranges of 60 mm in X, Y, and Z, whereas three precision goniometers with a typical pivot level present rotation ranges as much as 17 °. Excessive-speed magnetic direct drives allow linear velocities as much as 500 mm/s, and the goniometers assist angular velocities as much as 10 °/s. Minimal incremental movement is 5 nm and 5 µrad for linear and angular movement, respectively, with bidirectional repeatability of 150 nm and 25 µrad.
Embedded Quick Multi-Channel Alignment (FMPA) routines for fast space scans and gradient searches assist cut back alignment occasions and improve manufacturing throughput.
The included alignment controller options TCP/IP and EtherCAT interfaces, superior particular alignment routines and user-friendly software program. PI’s non-obligatory ultrafast PILightning algorithm is out there for accelerated first-light search purposes.
